Mark the Week: A chaotic launch from Labour

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.     The All Blacks: 8/10  Here we go. Is it possible we can win? Is Foster a redemption story? Pretty much nothing, sports wise beats the Rugby World Cup and the All Blacks.  Or does it?     The Warriors: 8/10  Putting last week behind us as quickly as possible, what chance we beat the Panthers? What chance we go all the way? What chance that this is our year?     The election campaign: 7/10  Because with the launches it got real. So then, the launches and the week;     Labour: 4/10  A chaotic launch. Too many loose MP's with lies, two bad polls and bad policies, especially yesterday's gang one that looked like too little, too late.     National: 7/10  Solid launch. Very American, very expensive, some good policies like the ute tax turnaround, a tunnel, and the ombudsmen. The polls aren't great but aren't bad either and Luxon is looking increasingly confident.    Act: 7/10  Good cut through for a smaller party normally squeezed at this time for space. Their productivity idea is the policy of the week.     Greens: 4/10  James Shaw not really having a degree despite his LinkedIn page saying he does, doesn’t help.     Liam Lawson: 8/10  Did all they asked for and more at Monza. He's on his way to Singapore next weekend, then hopefully Japan and then hopefully full time in 2024.      LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
